LATE BREEDING RED-NECKED GREBES

Hello Chatters,

Last time (late June)when I wrote about a pair of Red-necked Grebes
hanging around an empty nest in late June, I thought there was
something wrong with them. I have been to the location 2 times
since then and what I found out was that the nest has more
material added to it and she has laid 4 white eggs in it. This morning she
was sitting on them and after half an hour her partner replaced, her going
for a feeding trip. I have taken nearly 40 pictures of both individuals in or out
of the nest.

There were couple of cases in Burlington( a suburban Town of Toronto)
where the late laid eggs were abandoned by the Red-necked after sitting
for a while.

I hope the eggs hatch here and I am eagerly waiting for a few shots
where the young sometimes take a free ride on the back of Mom or Dad.

Sorry, last time I didn't make it that clear about the Grebes, I suppose.  One
 chatter, I will not mention his name, wrote very arrogantly, about my English.

Fine. I am trying. To start with, it not my language Mr. Arrogant.

Good Birding,
Ram
